(all shouting)
(man gagging)
- [Man] Oh my!
(all shouting)
- Oh god!
- I wanna puke.
- [Man] Why?
- I don't care if the entire internet calls me a coward.
I'm a coward, I don't give a shit.
I don't want to eat this.
- Hi there, Zach Kornfeld, commissioner
of the Buzzfeed Fantasy Football League.
In the spirit of competition, we made a pre-season bet
that the bottom three teams would be punished
on camera for you in a taste test video.
This is that, enjoy.
(dramatic music)
(claps)
- So today we are here to do a taste test.
- I wasn't in last place, you can't say that.
- Did I get last?
- You were in last place.
- Not without effort.
What was the prize money?
- Oh, 400 bucks.
- 400 bucks?
Oh my gosh, I would have tried way harder.
- My name is Zach.
My team name was Ed Gennero Football.
- My name's Ryan.
My team was DJ Dead Body, a reference
to an old Buzzfeed video that I'm
sure a lot of you haven't seen.
(electronic music)
- Great video, by the way.
Great video, check it out.
I'm Zack, my team name was Why I Left Buzzfeed.
(all laughing)
- Probably something gross, right?
- I'm hoping it's just like spicy fried chicken.
- I just don't want this to be something weird,
like eating a edible dildo or something.
I know how the Try Guys work.
(dramatic music)
- Surstromming, is it sur-stroming, surstromming?
Swedish for sour herring, it is a type of
fermented Baltic sea herring, and from what I can tell,
is the worst smelling food on the fucking planet.
- I overheard them say they needed
to get a screwdriver to open up what we're eating,
not something you want to hear.
- Hey boys.
- Stop it.
Does he get the biggest plate?
- I think Ryan, you should eat the most
'cause you have the biggest mouth.
- Do me a favor and just don't touch this yet.
- Fucking shit man, can we just get this over with?
I'm actually scared.
- [Zach] Don't touch, don't look.
- I see what it is.
- What?
- I fucking see it, I know.
No no no no no!
- [Zach] Please unbox it.
- Bro, I don't think I can do this.
No, it's the one thing I...
No man.
- Ew dude, wait 'til you feel it.
- No!
This is surstromming, it's one of the
grossest fish on the planet, I would say, right?
It smells repulsive and I'm sure
it tastes like sewage water.
I've encountered it behind the camera when
other people were doing it, and I had trouble then.
I didn't think I was, I had to leave.
- The smell's like foreskin.
- Why is this even a thing to make?
- Dude, feel my hands.
- Oh my god.
- I'm like legitimately, I give zero shits
if this video gets zero views, okay?
(men laughing)
Make that bite as tiny as you possibly want.
Fuck them.
- My gag reflex is already going up.
- Can I get another trashcan?
I'll do anything besides this.
Hit me in the nuts, I'll watch fucking
three straight seasons of Mind of Mencia.
- Where is that coming from?
- Let's just crack it open.
- Dude, how do you?
I don't even know this old technology.
- Oh, we can't get it open, so it's like--
- Aw man.
- Oh no.
Dude I'm for real, are there instructions?
- Just take one for the team and
stab yourself and we can just--
- I don't have Buzzfeed insurance
anymore man, I can't risk that.
(laughing)
- Pull the fire alarm!
- You didn't even ask us if we have allergies.
- Oh yeah, I'm allergic to fish.
(can hisses)
(all shouting)
(all gagging and shouting)
(laughing)
- Yo!
(all groaning nervously)
- Oh!
- Oh god!
- The garbage can smells better.
- My eyes are tearing.
- I don't want it, I don't want it.
I forfeit my spot.
- Call my papa.
- We're outside, there's a nice little breeze
going on, it's the worst day of my life.
- Let's just talk about this, do we have to it?
Look, we don't have to do this, you don't have to--
- Why, I got hit.
- Stepping away, I can't.
- I'm trying to get my mind,
I like a good tuna fish sandwich,
so I'm trying to psych myself out like.
Oh, I just got another whiff!
- You freaked him out. - Oh, I looked at it.
- It doesn't smell so bad anymore.
- What, you're sitting over there.
- That's how they get you.
The second you're like, oh I can breathe it comes back
into you and sucks out your soul like the
freaking Monstars to Patrick Ewing.
- I put a lot of crazy shit in my mouth,
I'm not putting this in my mouth.
- [Ryan] That is fucking gross, this is cruel.
(dramatic music)
- I feel totally fine, but I just can't move.
Oh oh oh!
- Are you kidding me?
Are you kidding me Dressler?
- What, we gotta eat this.
- I'll do this (gags).
Oh gosh, I got another whiff.
I got another whiff of it.
Um, baby asshole?
- It smells like if a piece of shit was able to take a shit.
- Whatever the worst exhibit is at the zoo,
that times a thousand.
- That's a dead corpse, that's a corpse in a can.
- I can't.
- Come on. (clapping)
(grunting and gagging)
- No, that makes you throw up when you see it.
- Yo, there's no shame in bowing out.
- [Ned] Come on tenth place.
(dramatic music)
(gagging)
- [Zack] Oh my--
- Oh, fuck you.
I want to puke.
I got boogers, I got tears.
It smells so bad, even with my nose pinched, I can smell it.
And it's just so salty.
- [Zach] All right Ryan, you're up.
- Look at the garbage.
(shouting)
- Why?
- [Zach] Now the garbage smells.
- Why?
(dramatic music)
- I hunt ghosts and demons for a living
and this is the scariest experience of my life.
- You don't hunt, you make PowerPoint slides, okay?
(Zach laughing)
- Why don't you just go eat some
fucking shrimp and grapes or something.
- I think I will.
- I'll let you know if this is worth it.
- Not worth it.
(groaning and laughing)
- Have you ever thrown up during Worth It
'cause you ate too much?
- [Zach] That's a good size.
That's a good size booger.
- [Zack] Oh, why'd you have to say booger?
- Oh it just dripped.
- Dude, this thing keeps almost falling and
it's gonna fall on me and I'm gonna be a little--
(all laughing)
(Ryan screaming)
- Oh, I got this from Topshop!
- We love you Ryan.
- You gotta believe, just believe. (exhales)
(dramatic music)
(spits) Oh god, it keeps hurting me dude.
(shouting)
And every time you think the taste is gone, the salt just,
ah, it just reactivates.
(shouting)
I feel like a fish just pissed in my mouth, ah.
I've never had a food where the taste goes away,
then comes back, then goes away and then comes back again.
God!
- [Zach] I wouldn't wish this upon anybody.
- Whoever thought of this should be set on fire
while we all watch him burn slowly, and I would smile.
(dramatic music)
- The other day I was making chicken and I cooked it
a little underdone and I threw up.
(laughing) So let's just say that's what kind of guy I am.
- Honestly, I tried to hold it in my mouth
a little longer, I couldn't.
- This is one of those moments
where you feel like you're watching yourself.
I'm having an out of body experience right now.
- I don't think I can eat fish again.
- No.
- Was going to eat fish tonight.
I have some defrosting in my fridge right now.
- Never mind.
(shouting, gagging)
- Why did that come so strong?
- They ate the smallest pieces, this is BS, no.
Ah!
(Ryan belches)
That's gonna make me throw up Ryan.
I'm trying to cut it up, dude.
- Here, I'll stand here with you, I feel bad for you.
- Maybe if we fart it will smell better.
- Do you want me to touch you, should I not touch you?
- Don't you dare touch me.
- [Ryan] It's such a big piece, holy--
- [Zach] Don't, oh my god.
- My team name was Why I Left Buzzfeed, I got last place,
Matt Ryan you screwed me over, here you go man.
(dramatic music)
(all shouting)
Oh, what is that?
Ah!
- [Ryan] It keeps going, right?
- Dude, it got in my nose.
Oh my god, ah!
- [Ryan] Oh, I just got a whiff again, Jesus.
- It's like (gibberish).
- Oh it keeps following me.
- You just keep smelling it.
(gibberish) Ah, it's on my hand.
Ah, you're right, the saltiness is so,
I feel, am I talking differently?
(laughing)
(Zach coughing)
- Can we clear that shit out of here,
because every time I smell it, I almost throw up.
- I'm, oh, you know, oh.
- I just saw a fly fly over this and
go "fuck that" and fly away.
Look at this fly, this fly's dazed.
It doesn't even know where the fuck it is now.
- I will say, I'm okay now, but that sucked.
(dramatic music)
- I have like a Band of Brothers mentality right now.
I feel like we went through something together.
I don't want to see this shit happen to anybody.
- Here's the thing, I was not planning on doing this,
but that was really really awful.
So if you want, I will take a bite
and you guys can watch me.
- [Together] Yes!
- I agree, yes.
- You want me back, and I'm back baby.
- Why are you bringing it back over here?
- [Zach] Gotta eat it.
- [Zack] Dude, dude.
- (coughs) It's really bad.
- [Ryan] What did you think, we were kidding?
- Hasn't this company been sued before?
I'm sure plenty of times.
- Okay, I'm just gonna do it.
I'm just gonna go for it.
- You got it bud, yeah.
- I can't even stab it, the fork is rejecting it.
It has like spikes on it.
- I'm like sweating, oh I got a whiff!
(dramatic music)
(Ryan and Zach screaming)
Oh he's so brave.
- (coughing) No!
Fuck no, oh god no!
- We're like trying to Spiderman out of here.
(laughing)
It's after.
- Yeah, it just keeps going, right?
What food fights back like that?
(Zach coughing and shouting)
- Oh no!
(gagging) Oh god.
- [Ryan] I almost just pulled out my holy water.
That was fucking crazy.
- Where do we throw this out?
That's it.
- This is honestly so much bigger
than Fantasy Football for me.
Like, the fact that we got through that
and we're still breathing means we've won
and I don't care about anything
that happens from this point on.
- I know, I'm definitely proud.
- Could we just have like have a group hug
at this moment, just like lightly hug each other,
think about what's happened.
- Yeah, not too hard we almost threw up.
(Zach laughing)
- You want a bite?
- [Cheska] Yeah, I want to try it.
- What is wrong with you?
There is no reason for that.
- [Cheska] I want to try it, can I try it?
- Cheska's our sound person today and she wants some.
- [Ryan] What are you doing?
Why are we prolonging this?
Let's just make this be over.
- Cheska, no.
(dramatic music)
(all shouting)
- [Ryan] Oh my god she's, what is wrong with you?
- What is wrong with you?
What is wrong with you?
- No!
- Did you just take it and not even--
- What are you, a cop?
(clapping)
- I'm shook, that was incredible.
- Get ready to be like Will in Stranger Things, and
that thing's gonna come up and it's a freaking Demogorgon.
- Okay, let's wrap this up.
Thank you guys for playing Fantasy Football this year,
this has been a nightmare.
Fuck this forever, we're out, go to hell, goodbye.
- Yo, I can't believe I almost threw up
twice on camera, that's crazy.
I'm so glad I didn't though 'cause
I did not want to become a meme. (exhales)
